McNulty Good SBC Champ

October 11, 2005 - San Antonio:  Mark McNulty used his putting prowess to lap the field last year at the SBC Championship. In town on Monday of this week for a media event at host course Oak Hills Country Club, the 2005 SBC Championship Champion wrapped up the session with a outdoor clinic on how to master Oak Hills' Champions Bermuda greens, which are running lightning fast. He's ranked 5th on the tour in putting and it showed on Monday as he wowed the media crowd.

McNulty represents the Champions Tour well. He's a gracious and humble champion, eager to thank the sponsors, the volunteers, and of course the fans. Oh and by the way, he's won 4 times on the Champions Tour in the states and has 55 international wins. He's #5 on the Champions Tour money list this year at $1,341,352 with 20 events played. The man can play.

McNulty and his cohorts including Nelson, Stadler, Kite, Irwin, Morgan, Crenshaw, Haas, Trevino, McCord, Quigley, Thorpe, and Curtis Strange. (see full field), will be in San Antonio next week to once again light-up Oak Hills at the SBC Championship.

The tourney is for a good cause. All proceeds above and beyond the tournament expense go to the University Health System - University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Pediatric Organ Transplant Program. A better cause would be hard to find.

The course at Oak Hills is in great shape with the rough just deep enough to put a premium on hitting it straight and keeping it in the short grass.

The weather should be perfect next week. The refreshments and other attractions are always top-notch. All this combined with a field of true golf Champions and you have a great outdoor entertainment package. Monday through Thursday is free admission is free courtesy of H.E.B. and parking is free throughout the event. (see full schedule)

Come join us for great week of golf at the 2005 SBC Championship presented by Alcatel.

Current SBC Championship Champion Mark McNulty on putting:

> "The mistakes I see most amateurs make in putting is too much movement, deceleration through the putt, and poor read of the line."

> "I always see the hole as big and I always am thinking I can make the putt."

> "Don't think about missing the putt, think about making it."
